James Duff Radius Arm options...

[Currency]

Well I was just thinking about my busted RA and thought well since I plan to install a 5.5" James Duff lift in the next year or two I could just go on and purchase their RA's.

RA kit alone costs, $569

Stage one lift 2.5" with RA's for $625

Christmas is right around the corner so the purchase will be pushed until around tax time which is about the only way I can afford to shell out this amount at one time. Otherwise it may never happen.

What do you guys think? For the price the 2.5" kit may be a better option now instead of just the RA's. Otherwise I would just purchase a stock type RA bracket and RA, about $100 then purchase the 5.5" kit in a few years.

Then over thinking everything as I normally do, will have my B.S. in Information Systems Security and student loans payments will start. Unless I get everything setup according to income I am looking at anywhere from $500-$600 a month, most likely not that high, but that is an estimate going off of the $14,000 in loans I have now with payments around $250 a month.

Get the 2.5" now because I may not be able to afford the 5.5" in a few years?
Get the JD RA kit?
Stick with stock stuff and spend only $100?

Um, that stage 1 kit does NOT include the radius arms. They only come with the stage 2 kit.

Oh wow, guess that is what I get for looking at this stuff at 3am.

Guess I'll wait till tax time and most likely get the RA's, I'm sure if I called them they would exclude the RA's when I purchase the 5.5" kit. I've not purchased anything from them but others here have and their kits appear to be constructed better than others.
